i have a buddy who spent some time in Utah(in a cave up in the hills), and we would talk on the phone for hours. he used to blow me away with his rendition of farley with that bit. he moved back here a few years ago and would stop by now and then. to see him do the bit in person was too much. "you're going be eating a steady diet of government cheese livin' in a van down by the river!!!"

I really wanted to be a writer, as a kid, but the only thing I used paper for in "High" school was rollin' dubies. My dad said, "hey I don't think you're name is Bill Shakespeare so pick up those tools and get to work!" Later I quit and spent some time in a van, down by the river but that sucked really bad. Now I spend my time here writing stuff for free and working in my original trade, to survive (even though it's killing me). That's reality TV that no one would want to see. I probably wouldn't want to watch myself 'cause the TV reception is bad when you're livin' in a van down by the river.
Too funny, gypsysoul ;-)

you hit that on the head marye. he is soo annoying. why not build a home for someone who has none at all!! not that most of the families are deserving, but i think they go a little overboard at times. maybe the dude living in a van down by the river could use a small joint to call home, eh?

I decided against watching it (in part because of the trailer about killing the chicken, and in part because I did not want to get sucked in...), but I agree the concept is real intriguing.

On my guilty pleasures list is Extreme Makeover Home Edition. There is so much NOT to like about it (is Ty Pennington the most annoying human on the planet or WHAT? and, even though I'm not exactly religious, I was kinda raised on not taking the lord's name in vain, and the makeover recipients from ages 5 up feeling obliged to scream "Oh My God!" over every appliance and light fixture, clearly with at least tacit encouragement from the producers, bugs the hell out of me...), and yet, so much sweetness comes through anyway, so many really touching stories, etc.

i saw a few bits and pieces of this show. reminds me of an old twilight zone or star trek. kids ruling the world!!! i heard there was some controversy about this one and it could have been just hype for ratings, idk, but it's cool. it's like their own little commune.
